## About the role

We’re hiring our first Commercial Counsel to own customer contracting work at Edra. Today this work is mostly owned by outside counsel, but with substantial growth in our commercial pipeline we’re ready to bring on an in-house attorney. This is a hands-on role: you’ll close enterprise deals, build effective contracting systems and processes, and advise on privacy, data protection, and our AI products. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Professional qualifications: J.D. from an accredited law school, active member in good standing of at least one U.S. state bar, and admitted or otherwise eligible to practice as in-house counsel in New York
- Experience: 5+ years of legal experience with a substantial focus on commercial technology transactions. In-house experience at a B2B software company is preferred, strong law-firm technology transactions candidates are welcome
- Enterprise contracting expertise: You’ve independently led complex software negotiations and are comfortable working from both company and customer paper, including agreements with sophisticated enterprise counterparties
- Privacy fluency: You have practical experience with privacy and data protection in software businesses, including negotiating DPAs and advising on how data can be processed and used across jurisdictions (including US, UK, and EU/EEA)
- Commercial judgment: You make clear recommendations, distinguish material risks from negotiating preferences, and know when to hold a position, find an alternative, or involve the business or outside counsel
- Builder mindset: You’re comfortable doing the drafting yourself, managing competing priorities, and building useful processes from scratch. You take ownership of moving work through to completion
